[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the anti common core posters: I would love to know of you can explain the WHY CC was initiated and what we can do to address the really serious problem it was intended to solve?

Thanks. [/quote]

I agree with the premise of CC, that kids should be able to move from A to B and have some consistency.  The guidelines are not bad. It's that people from too on high are dictated HOW to get these kids to learn those goals, not teachers in the classroom.

Public schools are not run like a business, they are run like the government department they are and those have been proven time and again to be inefficient - and they can't fail like a business can. Add unions and things get infinitely worse. That's why you will never see the elite in government sending their kids to public. That's why the wealthy send their kids to private.

Until public schools can truly fail like a business, there will be no incentive to improve them.

All CC is doing is making a lot of people money.[/quote]
